First, you need to get the denominators (the bottom number) the same. The smallest number to get them to is 15.
So, what you need to do is take 2/5 and multiply the bottom by 3 to get 15, and since you did it to the bottom, you need to do it to the top too. So you would get, 6/15.
Then, for 1/3, take the bottom number and multiply it by 5. Then, since you did it to the bottom, do it to the top as well. You would get 5/15.
Then, you need to put them side by side. You don't add the bottom, so your denominator would remain 15, but your numerator (top) would get added.
<u> 6</u> + <u>5</u> = <u>11</u>
15 15 15
Since there is nothing on the left side of the equation besides the absolute value, you have to take 6m out of the absolute value and create 2 separate equations. These 2 equation will be 6m = 42 and 6m = -42.
You solve the equations normally:
6m = 42 6m = -42 (inverse to get m by itself, do on both sides)
/6 /6 /6 /6
m = 7 m = -7
The answer is a solution set:
[7, -7]

Answer:
y = (1/2)x - 3 Answer A is closest.
Step-by-step explanation:
Two points on the line are (0, -3) and (4, -1). Notice that I've intentionally chosen "nice" points whose coordinates are integers; this makes the math easier. The point (1, -5/2) is also on the line if you want to use it, but the math's a bit more complicated.
Going from (0, -3) to (4, -1), x increases by 4 and y increases by 2. Hence, the slope of this line is m = rise / run = 2/4, or m = 1/2.
The slope-intercept formula for the equation of a straight line is the most convenient to use here, since we can tell immediately from the graph that the y-intercept is (0, -3):
y = (1/2)x - 3
Answer A should be y = (1/2)x - 3 for improved legibility. 1 2 x is not correct as a way to express (1/2)x.
